I don't get it. How does this affect AMTD customers? TD Bank is a large institution. AMTD is a retail brokerage partially owned by TD.
 
okay, I have a confession to make.
I guess I'm a dinosaur or something, but I still dig streamer suite. The charts are the easiest on my eyes out of all that I've tried. I can't even roll with command center. Maybe I'm just a creature of habit. :)

Quote from Option Trader:

Some ET members laugh at the idea of using TD Ameritrade for stocks. I believe, in part, it's because the jumping from screen to screen to place & monitor your orders, & because of the fixed cost but the reality is, why not using for larger size orders like 1k-2k shares plus? They no longer own the market making interests in Knight (which helps regarding the concern of trading against you & biased order routing), and they scan numerous market centers to fill your orders which greatly helps your fills for illiquide stocks--instead of causing the stock price to run away from you.

Don't use Ameritrade! They are a nightmare! It took me weeks to close my account. Customer service is terrible. They always "appreciate my business" and do "everything they can to satisfy their customers", but never ever answer even the simplest questions. Just a nightmare!

I'm sorry, but given that this is your 2nd post on ET and your first post was MOST "revealing" . . .

I'd say that you are extremely "new" to how Wall Street works; thus lacking understanding of basic concepts. Perhaps that is why they have been unable to "answer" your simplest of questions.

yEAH 4 to 1 intraday margins,

you can buy and sell an amount equal to your account value 4 times, or less if you carry margin overnight.

but everytime you make a trade, the "day trading buying power" goes down, until it is 0, then you cannot buy and sell anymore.

I'm sorry, but 4:1 intra-day margin has NOTHING to do with buying or selling an amount of stock equal to your account value, 4 times per day.
 
gee, maybe i'm having flashbacks, but my day trade buying power refreshes after each position is closed. Damn, I hate it when these hallucinations creep up on me.
